It is actually recommended that you REMOVE that page entirely and use the main X-Cart page (home.php) as the index page. Much better for search engines.

LANDING PAGES are simply, bad (unless you hav a specific need for one). In most cases, you shouldn't use them.

Use htaccess and direct your customers to your site root (not index.html):

DirectoryIndex home.php index.php index.html index.htm
